PlumpJack
PlumpJack Review
If Opus One is the Rolls-Royce of the Oakville District—expensive, refined, and a little snooty—then PlumpJack is the Mini Cooper: fun, casual, and sporty. With its metal chandelier and wall hangings, the tasting room looks like it could be the stage set for a modern Shakespeare production. (The name "PlumpJack" is a nod to Shakespeare's Falstaff.) The reserve Chardonnay has a good balance of baked fruit and fresh citrus flavors, and a Merlot is blended with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, giving the wine sufficient tannins to ensure it can age another five years or more. If the tasting room is crowded, take a breather under the shady arbor on the back patio.
